A busy day was once more done
And I had started making tea
There was an aching in my tum
A feast of food awaited me!
With bread and cheese and stew and fish
And pies and tarts upon a dish
I started laying out my plates
Whilst thinking if I needed more
I heard a-rattling of the gate
And then a-knocking at my door
Now who's that interrupting me?
I was about to have my tea!
